So what if there was an earthquake? I just want independance. Read that as non-dependance upon,the now convention,of electrified/refrigerated/instant hot water/ soft triple-ply flush-and-I-don't-care-where-it-goes-world.pigsteak wrote:dear god, finally a thread more irrational and stupid than the religion and political threads.....
You green people out there are so concerned about carbon foot-print bull, that you don't realize. What if you don't have your german diesel/made in mexico car to go to the tickle-the-keyboard job. What if there was no job?
The biggest thing is this. What if you lost your job to the recession/depression? What if there was an interruption of services brought on by..... . What if? You don't get your latte' in the morning from fru-fru corporate company with the cool muzak and the poly-unabsorbated/bi-phenyl chloro/styro/opti/digital coffee shop.
What if?
Your world would come crashing down. In a matter of days you could be reduced to hunting alley cats in the parking lot out back with a broken pool stick that you stole out of a burned out building .
If the banks crashed would you have money?(I could tell you a story about "unrealized debt")
If marshal law was declared could you cope(I could tell you a story about the difference between unarmed,whiney liberals in the street, carrying picket signs, crying about how unjust the world is. And then I could show you some die-hard, I spent 20 years in the military defending this country and I'm not going to let the Amerika that I love,bled,and watched my friends die for, go the way of(insert failed country/state here)
If there was a natural disaster Could you purify your water? How long can you go without refrigeration. When I was in Homestead after Andrew, I saw gun play over bags of ice. How long can you keep food? Do you know how to salt meat? Do you know what kind of salt to buy? Do you know how to store dry goods? Do you own a autoclave/canner? Do you know how to use it? How about a chain saw and axe? I recommend the stihl 180, change the bar and chain to the .050 because the chain will last longer. Have you studied these things? Do you know?Well, do you?
Theres a verse that says," My people perish for lack of knowledge"
